My god, it was kinda easy. Maybe it was because I had savestates on my side, though. BUT YEAH. Nobody was even Level 50 when I went in, and by the time I got out, I think only Ampharos (and maybe Feraligatr) made it that high.
Also, Ursaring didn't do a goddamn thing. He was my filler and I like literally caught him at Champion Road. He was the only useless one on the team. Even Skarmory, who was Level
40, managed to contribute to a few kills. I only used Lugia for this battle and then stored it away in the PC, because honestly... I had no other reliable team members. So yeah. My core team for most of my Johto journey was Feraligatr, Ampharos, and Togetic. I didn't get Skarmory until I hit Blackthorn City, so yeah. I do have a Nidoran♀ that's been with me most of the time, but it's only been my HM Slave. I've been having a hard time deciding on a core team because so many of my main standbys were Generation III/IV Pokemon. And the ones from earlier generations that I want/like are ones that are impossible to get in the game (lack of presence or requiring a trade to evolve - latter isn't feasible since it's a rom) or aren't available until near the end of the game, like Sneasel. Whose cruel-ass idea was it to only make Sneasel available
after you get 16 badges? ._.
Do you realize how much fucking time I wasted on the Ice Path before I found that out.
DO YOU?!But yeah, now I'm meandering about in Kanto. Not challenging Gym Leaders... trying to see how much I can explore before I
have to challenge one. And also trying to get my team well-rounded. I especially didn't want to fight Lt. Surge right off the bat since my small team has a very glaring Electric weakness. I'm rather glad I did that, because it wasn't long before I came across a
MAROWAK, which I love, and so I now have that on my team and I'm still leveling her up to match the others.
I had thought of making screenshots to chronicle my journey, but I figured that wouldn't be fun since it's all still Japanese.
Oh yeah, and didn't the HGSS OST come out in Japan on like, this Wednesday? Wh-why has no one ripped it yet goddammit. ♥;
Soooo.... yeah. Halloween.
I saw a dude dressed as a Rubick's Cube while I drove out to get a pizza today. I also came across ice cream that's allegedly flavored like hot cocoa.
Now think about that for one second.
Ice cream.
And it tastes like
hot cocoa.
... What, is "Chocolate with marshmallows" too unappealing of a name? Since that's basically what it is?
Also, Jello. Jello is setting traps. I set my eyes on an interesting new pudding flavor by the name of
CINNAMON ROLLS the other week ago. I love cinnamon-tasting stuff, I was naturally interested in how it would taste as pudding, so I bought it and took it home and...
It was sugar-free.I thought I had accidentally gotten the wrong kind without paying attention, but now getting a closer look... there are other exotic pudding flavors out. Dark chocolate... banana fudge supreme... Boston creme pie...
... but they're all sugar-fee.Apparently they do not make them with sugar. In fact, pretty much all of the non-sugar-free pudding is stuffed on the bottom rack where it's hard to see, as if it's getting phased out or something. THAT WOULD BE HORRIFYING IF IT HAPPENED.
Because, you know... the cinnamon pudding was actually pretty good.
IT JUST NEEDED SOME SUGAR TO TASTE PERFECT. And I have a feeling that's how the other flavors are, too.
Now, isn't that just a kick in the nuts? "Oh, try our exotic new pudding flavors! OH WHOOPS. Do you like sugar in your pudding?
WELL TOO BAD, WHORE. YOU'RE PROBABLY FAT IF YOU LIKE IT THAT WAY. EAT UP, FATTY."
...
Maybe it's just because I live in Kentucky. I don't know; the state of food where I live is rather catastrophic, because now even Wal-Mart's stopped selling the frozen Hamburger Helper I liked so much. I pray it'll be at the new store that's being constructed nearby, or else I'll have to say goodbye to that delicious, delicious entrée forever.
On the upside, I do quite like these Pop-Tarts that taste like Blueberry Muffins. Ohoho.
I expect my FList is gonna be NaNo this and NaNo that all month, now. I'm sorta used to it after so many years, anyway. Yeah, uh, Trifecta is 175k words right now, people. And it's not even a year old yet. I don't think I need to prove I can write less than that in a month.
Incidentally, I did start Trifecta 11 today. Not bad; 3k words in already! Spontaneously made an OC for this chapter, though it's really more for convenience (since Paul so needs a doctor and with Conway out of the picture, nobody's around to look out for his accident-prone ass!). There will probably be some amount of set-up due before I actually start adapting scenes from
Pursuing a Lofty Goal!, but I'm excited for it. It'll be my first adaption of an anime episode, and it'll also be my very first shot at writing for Ash, Brock, and Dawn (and probably James/the rest of Team Rocket since they're fairly involved).
I think I've interacted with (via RP) enough of the first three now to get a good idea of how to write them, anyway!

ANYWAY FEEL FREE TO MOCK. We were considering perhaps doing requests, but we're still on the fence about it before announcing it publicly on the comm.
WHAT DO YOU BITCHES THINK, HUH?!...
...
Indeed.
I have a Gaia too, but I'm too lazy to get on that so much... though I really did enjoy that pinball game they have. I wish tinierme had more games other than just fishing for now.
